So sorry to learn of the passing of Mrs. Burrows. I did not know the lady but I have been and still am good friends with Naomi. We were good friends when her family moved to Arcadia to start a congregation with the Church of Christ. Love always and may God Bless each and every one, Lela.

Ms. Ruby was one of the sweetest ladies I knew. She was a Sunday school teacher to me and my two sons. What a wonderful person.
